Yeah, couldn't you find a ND girl to "date"? Nobody has to know if you're sleeping with her.

Inventing a beard and then very publicly killing her off ... that seems way, way, way more complicated than it has to be.

True ... why could he just use the I'm staying a virgin until i'm married for religious reasons. It would fit right in at Notre Dame and then he could just occasionally go out with a "friend" that's a girl and not worry about it.

Maybe the girls still insisted on kissing him and all that ewwwwy stuff.

I don't know ... maybe he's not gay and just enjoyed all the attention and sympathy he got.

The sad part would be the reason he needed to lie in the first place. Judging by the state you are representing on your avatar, it makes sense why you don't understand that.

He didn't need to lie at all in this manner no matter what his sexual orientation is. Making up a fake dead girlfriend is deceit on an outrageous level, designed seemingly to raise his profile and improve his "story."

And not that the insinuation you're making about Kansas citizens isn't a load of shit in itself, but I'm from Toronto, Canada, dipshit.

I dunno, man. I work with a couple of ND grads, and if they're any indication, I'd make one up too.

If they aren't "out" they can get pretty paranoid about it.

I had a friend once that everyone thought was gay ... every friend he had almost knew he was gay but he was always pretending otherwise. We didn't care so we just let it go. But he did some pretty silly shit just to make it seem like he was straight.
